Two Minute Smile! by Roger Stevens

Encourage your little one to clean their teeth for a full two minutes by reading aloud this fun poem as they brush

Ready, steady
Here we go
It’s a two minute brush
So don’t be slow
You got to have rhythm
You got to have style
Get into a groove
To brighten your smile
Bugs don’t brush, a bird has a beak
A crocodile would take all week
A cat prefers to sleep in the sun
She doesn’t know that brushing is fun

If you want to dazzle
Whenever you laugh
Then keep with the action
There’s a minute and a half

You got to have rhythm
You got to have style
Get into a groove
To brighten your smile
Your brush can be pink
Your brush can be blue
With stripes or spots
It’s up to you
It can cost a fortune
Or 50 pee
Powered by your arm
Or a battery

It’s not a competition
You don’t have to win it
Just keep on brushing
For one more minute
You got to have rhythm
You got to have style
Get into a groove
To brighten your smile
Brushing is good for dads and mums
And a friendly smile will make you chums
Brushing protects your teeth and gums
Although it won’t help you do your sums
Not too fast
Not too slow
It’s a circular motion
Thirty seconds to go
You got to have rhythm
You got to have style
Get into a groove
To brighten your smile

Brush to the north, brush to the south
Have a sunny disposition
Don’t be down in the mouth
Brush to the east, brush to the west
And you’ll have a smile
That’s the very, very best
Now you can spit!
Wasn’t that fun?
So let’s see that smile…
That’s brilliant!
You’re done
